Returning to the Firelink Shrine hub world in order to level up character stats, weapon quality, and the health-imbuing estus flask seems tedious at first, but as time goes by, you'll recruit helpful companions that set up camp at your base, granting useful items and buffs throughout your playthrough. Many of Dark Souls III's secrets won't be clear until your second playthrough. In this dangerous world of swamps, prisons, and undead villages, every milestone is a victory. It's a testament to the level design that discovering a bonfire checkpoint is as important as levelling your character or defeating a challenging boss. The world itself is a disconnected series of detailed areas-some sprawl outward, while others stack on top of themselves, folding back and looping around in intricate webs. This is a game that recognizes the value of perseverance, tearing you down before it pulls you back up, reinforcing the spots where it broke you, preparing you for that next valley just down the road. As with its predecessors, playing Dark Souls III means accepting two extremes: recurring defeat, and the reward of breaking through it. It gives minimal direction and little room for error. This is the third in a series of dark fantasy role-playing games known for their brutal difficulty and unforgiving nature.
